This amp gets some great sounds using a strat or a 335 straight into amp with no pedals. The volume in the room was very loud though. The brightness switch is always ON for that glassy fender sound. The Celestion Vintage 30 speaker sounds noticeably smoother after it has had some time to break-in. I sped up the process by connecting the speaker directly to a 400w mono QSC power amp and played the local R&B/Rap radio station through it for about 8 hours at a safe volume. When I got home from work and reconnected the speaker, it sounded fantastic.
The overdrive settings starting at 1:30 were:
(Channel 1)
Gain: 8
Volume: 2
Treble, Bass, Middle all three set to: 5
Boost: OFF
Presence: 6
Reverb: 5
Stock tubes were replaced with ‘early breakup’ set (see below) of JJ Electronic Eurotubes:

Traynor YCV40 – High gain option.
A pair of the JJ 6L6GC’s along with three hand picked high gain ECC83S’s with one of them being balanced for the phase inverter in V3. For you players who need a little more edge! These are fixed bias amps so please use the comments box before checking out to let me know if your after max headroom, middle of the road, or an earlier breakup from the clean channel so I can pick the proper grade for the power tubes.
The 335 humbuckers were a DiMarzio Air Norton in the bridge and a Gibson ‘57 Classic in the neck. The strat was a mahogany Fender American Select Stratocaster HSS with a Diamondback humbucker and two Tex-Mex single-coils.

www.ProGuitarShop.com – The Fender Custom Shop 57 Twin Amp brings back the wonders of the infamous 5E8A circuit. The incredible dynamic response and purity of tone of the 5E8A circuit are meticulously recreated in this Tweed Twin. The Tweed Twin is all hand wired point-to-point with high quality components and Mercury Magnetics transformers. This 40-watt Twin is powered by USA made Groove Tubes 6l6GE power tubes and rectified by two 5U4s bringing back the late 50s Fender dual rectifier design. This reduces sag for a tighter overdrive tone when pushed. Add all this up and the Fender Custom Shop 57 Twin produces sweet chimey top end with lots of sparkle and a focused overdrive sound with tons of harmonic overtones and incredible dynamic response. The Fender Custom Shop 57 Twin has unbeatable dynamic response and tonality. Forget the rest, go with the best and check out Andy’s demo of the Fender Tweed Twin.

This is my #1 gigging amp. It is pure amp and nothing like the reissues. This amp has a lot of headroom and you really need a Tube Screamer to get this amp to go into overdrive. If you were going to buy one vintage amp, this would be the one, the Holy Grail. I will demo it on my next videos. Watch the Bandmaster video first. Disclaimer: I don’t play this amp in this video but I do have several videos playing this amp. Look at all of my videos.
